Duke University Looking for Study Participants

This came across the Einstein-Syndrome listserv and I thought I would pass the word on.

Down Syndrome

Photoscreening/Amblyopia in Down syndrome

 

Purpose of the study

The study is to see if photoscreening, which is faster and does not require dilating the eye, is sensitive and specific in identifying eye problems in children with Down syndrome

 

What is involved in the study?

This study involves taking a picture of your child's eyes, and if your child has not seen an eye doctor in the past 12 months, a complete eye examination. 

 

Who is eligible?

Children ages 3 to 10 with Down syndrome.
